A short story by Steamboat Pilot

dew.
About ~ years ago was master and pilot OF the
steamboat Sarah Brorn, that ran between Peeks-
Kill and New York, carrying freight At peeks.
Kill we lay up at dock near which one Of the
main sewers from the village emptied into the
river. The bad air and gas from this sewer was
fearful II was so fearful that often slept In my
bunk on the boat with the door and windows shut
tight rather than breathe it; aud that too in hot
weather. used 10 notice that the water set over
night In basin or bowl To drink would IN the
morning be covered with a sort Of Shiny coating
II the sewer gas could get at IT,
II was in this way had my first attack " NAL
aria. Before that had never been really sick in
my life, and could stand any amount Of work
and sleep like Il healthy child; but az the malaria
took hold Of me my appetite began ~ fail and my
good sleep went with It. Sometimes / could eat
heartily enough, and then again nothing seemed
to tempt me or To- taste good; aud TO sleeping,
would often toss and tumble in my bed nearly
all night, then fall asleep about daylight. com
pletely tired out This irregular and broken fash
ion Of eating drinking aud sleeping pretty soon
brought on indigestion aud symptoms Of dyspcp-
STA; In fact, after II while II came to be- what is
called-and very properly, think dys-
pepsia and exhaustion
At the very start as soon as told my physician
how felt, he began giving me qunine, aud Of
ten took 10 grains day 1t didn't cure me, and,
so far as know, qunne never does really cure
malaria; but as neither the doctor nor anybody
else could tell me Of anything better | kept ON
taking it. Then began having severe headaches
or browaches, and felt tagged out and low-spirted
With the idea that quinine might possibly helpme
II l only took larger doses, / increased the dos.
from four to ten grains at time.
This kind Of thing went ON for six years six
very long years they were to me, you may be- sure
Of that OF course my business involved almost
constant exposure to the weather, which greatly
increased the severity Of the attacks ! have stood
In the piot-house steering, with my overcoat but
toned to the chin, shivering Ia the hot summer
sun.
All this time kept taking quinint In large
doses, and as had become very weak, my ply
stefan told me that the naarial poison was max
ing my blood thin and poor abstractng the very
life from it After few months l began to feel
the effects Of the large quantity Of quininr had
used to break up the malaria. First was troubled
with ringing and buzzing in the ears, and began
to grow hard Of hearing; my eyesght became
weak and from enjoying the use Of pair Of eyes
clear and strong anybody ever had, soon had
to help my vision with pair Of glasses while yet
young man, This was Informed ON medical
authority was what is called Dtdldridi irtiS, or
loss Of the cOOring of the iris due to maarious in
fection. My eyes watered easily at night at
tempting TO use Them and seemed to lose the
deep clear color which was natural to them.
Bleeding at the nose was about this time a com
mon thing with me-so much so that the doctor
plugged up the nasal oriices to stop it.
On my return from the West where had gone
In hopes that IA change OF air and scene might do
me good first saw an advertisement Of Kaskine
in New York daily paper It was called THE
New Quinine' That meets my idea, said.
Anything to take the place Of the old quinine;
for between that and the malaria shall be com
pletely used up before long"
So began on Haskne, taking about Is pellets
at a time four times day, and in few days |
felt much better l slept better food tasted more
back by degrees and, briefly, in the course OF
reasonable time it worked "A perfect cure of the
malaria with all its symptoms and evils-the
headaches, debility, etc.
should not fail to mention that beginning
the Kaskine treatment threw aside the qulninc
and depended on kaskiue alone.
